Chapter 17: The Mansion of the Duke of Wei (4)
"Slow down this matter, delay it for a few days, I'll inquire a few more times, and then talk to the emperor if there is confirmed news." Zhu Wenyu hung his head and said dejectedly.
Desert didn't say much, just nodded: "Then let's all go to sleep, and we'll think about it again tomorrow." "I thought that when I was in bed at night, I had to sort out my thoughts.
Zhu Wenyu nodded and said gloomily: "Sleep." ”
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Wenyu came to find Desert and Tang Yun with great interest, and said, "Let's go, Eagle, Yun'er, go shopping with me." ”
"Shopping ??!!" Desert was taken aback and looked at Zhu Wenyu with wide eyes. What's going on with this Zhu Wenyu? I also heard a lot of secrets of the Tianyi Alliance last night, and what street are you going to go shopping today?
"yes, send something." Zhu Wenyu seems to have forgotten all about the Tianyi Alliance, and he doesn't care about the Tao.
"Okay." The desert couldn't figure out what Zhu Wenyu was going to do for a while, and when he saw that Zhu Wenyu seemed to be in his chest, he didn't ask any more questions, so he said.
"Guys, let's go." Zhu Wenyu raised his hand, only to see two family members carrying a box, and another person also holding a small one, and went out. Tang Yun saw at a glance that it was the things that Lu Chenglin, the leader of the Minjiang Gang in Nale Mountain, ordered Zu Jiangsheng to bring to the capital, and later Zu Jiangsheng was on the river outside Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing in order to save Zhu Tang and the two of them without knowing life and death, Zhu Wenyu once said that he would bring things to the capital for Zu Jiangsheng and fulfill his wish. These two boxes were the one hidden under the deck of the passenger ship's cabin.
"Brother Yu, what about the two letters?" Tang Yun noticed that there was no letter on the box.
"Here it is." Zhu Wenyu took out two envelopes from his arms, which were the two letters that were originally tied to the box. "Let's go, go to Hujia Xie Street first, Zhang's Mansion!" Zhu Wenyu Dao conductor Ding Dao.
The desert didn't understand for a while what this box had to do with the Tianyi League, and he had planned to discuss the matter of the Tianyi Alliance with Zhu Wenyu today, but he was dragged to what box to send? The desert was a little confused by Zhu Wenyu. "Brother Zhu, what happened last night?"
"I don't know! I don't bother to pay attention to it, and I have a headache when I think about it. Let's send the box first, and we'll talk about that later. ”
The desert understood a little, thinking that it was because it was too sudden, which made Zhu Wenyu confused and discouraged and wanted to give up. He walked over, approached Zhu Wenyu and whispered, "Brother Zhu doesn't want to care about this matter anymore?" ”
"I didn't ...... No, I don't. Zhu Wenyu was a little flustered, "I'm just going to talk about it later." ”
"Brother Zhu, you also know that if the affairs of the Tianyi Alliance are not investigated, it is very likely to cause turmoil in the martial arts, and even experience a catastrophe."
"You and I are not from the martial arts, let's get up." These words popped out of Zhu Wenyu's mouth, usually when they joked with a hippie smile, but the desert saw that Zhu Wenyu was not joking at this time, and he really wanted to give up.
"But if we don't stop it, maybe the world will start to fight again, and the people will suffer again. You're not a martial artist, but you're always a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, right? Desert said indignantly.
"I ......" Zhu Wenyu was a little speechless.
"Brother Zhu, think about it, do you want to see another war disaster for the people of the Central Plains who have been recuperating for more than ten years? One by one, they left their hometowns, they died one by one, rivers of blood flowed everywhere, and their wives scattered and wailed all over the wilderness? ”
"No!" Zhu Wenyu thought of his parents who died in the war, thinking that he had been an orphan since he was a child, and he and Old Master Chen depended on each other for their lives, if they hadn't been admitted to the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang, they might have starved to death in the wilderness, and couldn't help blurting out.
"If Brother Zhu doesn't want to see the continuous war, doesn't want to see the unjust death of the Thunder Swordsman, doesn't want to see the tragic death of thousands of innocent people who were wiped out, and doesn't want to see the Central Plains Martial Arts Tribulation coming, Brother Zhu, you have to cheer up, don't completely wipe out the Tianyi Alliance, and never give up!" The desert is a word by word.
"And you were assassinated in Kaifeng Mansion, Danling County was seriously injured in the mountains for a month, and Chongqing Mansion was almost killed in the belly of a fish, have you forgotten all this?" Tang Yun also said indignantly on the side.
"It's nothing, it's not dead anyway." Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.
Tang Yun was so angry that his face turned green, and he stomped his feet and turned around and entered the house.
"Brother Zhu, although you think that these don't matter and don't care, but the Tianyi Alliance can't let you go, you were ordered by the emperor to deal with the Tianyi League, your martial arts are high, and you have the support of many famous and decent families in the Central Plains martial arts, you are born to be the mortal enemy of the Tianyi League, even if you don't deal with them, they will want to get rid of you and ...... quickly" Desert said bitterly.
As the desert was talking, I saw Tang Yun angrily holding a sword in one hand and a burden in the other, coming out of the house, and walking out.
"Yun'er, where are you going?" Zhu Wenyu grabbed Tang Yun's arm.
"Find Du Feng and go hard!" Tang Yun struggled, but he didn't break free.
"Where to run!" Zhu Wenyu made a hard effort, hugged Tang Yun in his arms, surrounded his hands, and suddenly made Tang Yun unable to move. Zhu Wenyu turned back to the desert and smiled: "Hehe, Eagle, you're right, even if I don't want to deal with them, they can't spare me, it seems that I and the Tianyi Alliance are really natural opponents." ”
"Then we'll have to think about it today." Seeing that Zhu Wenyu had a change of heart, Desert breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, no, I'll send the box first, let's talk about it when we come back, and let's discuss it well when we come back and see what to do next." Zhu Wenyu saw that the boxes had been lifted out, so he smiled.
"That's okay, then I won't go, Brother Zhu, you'll come back after you send it off, I'll think about it at home first."
"Okay, then I'll be back when I'm done." He bowed his head and asked Tang Yun: "Yun'er, will you accompany me for a trip?" ”
Tang Yun was held in Zhu Wenyu's arms and didn't struggle anymore, just listening to Zhu Sha and the two talking, listening to Zhu Wenyu at this time, he immediately reacted that he was still being hugged by Zhu Wenyu. Who's going with you? ”
Zhu Wenyu was unprepared by Tang Yun to break free, and he no longer hugged him, and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, okay, you guys rest at home first, I'll send it, and I'll come back after sending it off." ”
"Brother Zhu will go early and return early." Desert looked at this scene, and secretly laughed in his heart, afraid that Tang Yun's face would not be able to get by, but there was no change in his expression, as if he hadn't seen it, he arched his hand.
"Good. Guys, Hujia Xiejie, let's go!" As soon as Zhu Wenyu raised his hand, he instructed the family to carry the box and walk outside the house, not riding a horse or taking a sedan chair, but actually walked with the family members towards the Hujia Xie Street outside the Dong'an Gate.
Hujiaxiao Street is not far from Zhu Wenyu's house. That Zhang Mansion was originally a rouge shop, made some money, gathered some belongings, it was a solid family, bought a non-slippery yard on Hujia Xie Street, and Zhu Wenyu's house is not much bigger, that Mr. Zhang Daoning is a man in his fifties and sixties, chubby, with a habitual smile on his face, his eyes are dripping and rolling, he knows at a glance that he is a shrewd businessman, opened the letter and read it for a long time, put it down, picked up the tea bowl, slowly brushed the tea foam floating in the bowl with the bowl lid, and said: "How is my uncle lately?" ”
"Uncle?" Zhu Wenyu was inexplicable and didn't react for a while.
"It's Cheng Lin, don't you know Brother Zu?" That Zhang Daoning didn't look up, but just rolled his eyes while drinking tea, and seemed to be very dissatisfied that Zhu Wenyu didn't know that Lu Chenglin was Zhang's uncle.
Zhu Wenyu knew that the other party was mistaken, thinking that he was Zu Jiangsheng, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Ke's surname is Zhu, not Zu, because Brother Zu had something on the way here, Xiao Ke sent this box on behalf of Brother Zu." ”
"Oh, yes, it's so abrupt. Mr. Zhu is not surprised. Listening to the accent, Mr. Zhu is a native of Beijing? Zhang Daoning hurriedly put down the tea bowl and looked at Zhu Wenyu and said.
"Exactly, Xiao Ke lives on Xiangguer Street outside Dong'an Gate."
"Ringing Gu'er Street outside Dong'an Gate? Isn't the son the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhu Wenyu Zhu? Zhang Daoning's eyes widened sharply.
"Hehe, it's Xiao Ke."
"Oh, it turned out that Lord Zhu was here. The villain doesn't know, he has never greeted him from afar, and he asks Lord Zhu for forgiveness. That Zhang Daoning hurriedly stepped out of his seat, stepped forward, and wanted to kneel.
Zhu Wenyu hurriedly held on and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be polite, Zhu is just a brother on behalf of the ancestor to send things over for the Lu gang leader, it is purely a personal relationship, not officialdom, Mr. Zhang doesn't need so much courtesy." ”
"Alas, the hairy-footed son-in-law of the grass people is reckless and doesn't understand the rules, how can he let Lord Zhu entrust things? It's really rude. Lord Zhu came to my humble house today, it really made the walls of the humble house shine, and it was strange that there were magpies on the branches this morning, and it turned out that there were nobles coming to the door......" said in that Dao Ning's mouth.
Zhu Wenyu had a big headache when he heard this, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Lu Chenglin Lu Gang Leader is the uncle of the Venerable Mansion?" ”
"Exactly, the villain has three daughters, the eldest daughter is married to Liu Guohua, the prefect of Guizhou Zhenyuanfu, Leshan Lu Chenglin is the villain's second son-in-law, and there is a younger daughter, who is still in the boudoir, not allowed to be a family, only fifteen years old this year, looks like a flower and jade, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and female red embroidery are all fine, Lord Zhu ......"
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, Xiao Ke has another thing to send to another house, there will be important things in the house for a while, Mr. Zhang has already received the entrusted things, Xiao Ke will not bother Mr. Zhang much. Leave. Zhu Wenyu heard what Zhang Daoning meant, as if he still wanted to let himself and Lu Chenglin's kid be brothers-in-law, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
"Lord Zhu, hey, Lord Zhu ......" That Zhang Daoning didn't expect Zhu Wenyu to say that he would leave, but he didn't react, and hurriedly got up and said.
